Exploring San Miguel de Allende

After you enroll, we’ll ask you to provide or update your personal information and preferences, which includes your health information, lodging and meal preferences for your program.

Travel Documents for U.S. Residents Due to a recent change in the law, US residents arriving in Mexico by air from the United States need only a valid passport that does not expire within six months of your travel dates. When you land, your passport will be stamped at immigration, and that stamp serves as your official permit to stay—no separate tourist card is required. Travelers with other nationalities should check with their embassy or with Mexican immigration directly for the most up-to-date entry requirements. We also recommend carrying a photocopy of your passport and other required documents and storing them separately, in case the originals are lost or stolen.

A passport is required for this program. It must be valid for at least 6 months after your return date.

This information about travel documents pertains to participants holding U.S. passports. Non-U.S. citizens should refer to their country's requirements to ensure they have the necessary documentation for travel.

United States citizens don’t need a visa for any of the countries you’ll be visiting. Non-U.S. citizens should refer to their country's requirements to ensure they have the necessary documentation for travel.

If Road Scholar is arranging your air travel to and from the program, and you travel on the scheduled start and end dates, you’ll receive free round-trip transfers from the airport to the hotel.
